Benefits of technology

[0010] Another aspect of the present invention relates to an isolated, Lepidium-derived composition that can contain an aqueous component and a component, designated a Lepidium amino acid component, having amino acids that can be isolated from Lepidium plant material. Typically, the Lepidium amino acid component has about 70% or more proline, 5% or more glutamic acid, and 5% or more valine. In certain embodiments, the composition has about 0.3% benzyl isothiocyanate and about 0.5% of a component, called a macamide component, having amides of fat

Problems solved by technology

Few other crops can survive in such a harsh environment.
However, the results were far from satisfactory.

Abstract

The present invention relates to compositions containing particular components that can be obtained from a plant which can have pharmaceutical applications. More particularly, the plant genus is Lepidium and the composition may contain in the range of between about 0.3% and 0.7% of benzyl isothiocyanate, b) between about 0.06% and about 0.02% of Lepidium sterol component, c) between about 1% and about 2% of a Lepidium fatty acid component, and d) about 0.006% to 0.6% or more total macamide / macaenes component as standardized with excipients.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to compositions containing particular components that can be obtained from a plant which can have pharmaceutical applications. More particularly, the plant genus is Lepidium. [0003] 2. Description of the State of the Art [0004] In the U.S., up to 30 million men are assumed to suffer some degree of erectile dysfunction (Morgentaler, 1999). At least 10 million American men are thought to have impotence. It is estimated that about 70-80% of impotence cases are caused by medical problems, such as hypogonadism, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, depression and other psychological illness. Most of impotence cases are treated with Viagra® or other medicines. This treatment is focusing on the physiological mechanics to achieve and maintain erection and do little or nothing to enhance the sexual desire or libido of men suffering erectile dysfunction. Therefore, it is necessary to ...
